According to traditional
Chinese medicine which was originally developed over 5,000 years ago,
we have energy pathways known as meridians running though out our bodies.
They carry our vital energy or the lifeforce (known as chi, or Prana)
throughout the whole of our body and interact with our cells at a sub
atomic level. Our nervous system and organs communicate via this energy
system and based upon how we perceive the outside world, our nervous systems
react accordingly and we physically experience the reaction in the body
as an emotional feeling. Because we react to everything we ever come into
contact with in only one of three ways ( pleasant, neutral or unpleasant)
it also plays an vital role in how our thought process work. An even flow
of balanced energy maintains a healthy mind and body, but any interruptions,
leads to a depletion or stagnation which in turn causes us mental and
physical problems. 
The human body already has
the ability to self-heal. All living beings are full of energy and vitality
and the healthy body does quite a good job at trying to re- balance
and regenerate itself. Within each of us is an intelligent cellular
communication system that continually works to try and maintain an ideal
state of health and perfect order.
Every single cell contains
DNA, this carries the information blocks you have inherited from your
ancestors. The DNA code is responsible for instructing your cells how
go about repairing and rebuilding themselves. The process should run
smoothly if the energy fields that are flowing in and around the cells
remain balanced and free flowing.
However, as we live our
life, our cells are exposed to all kinds of life situations that disturb
the energy field. These disturbances are literally recorded or imprinted
upon us rather like a tape recording, so that even many years after
the event, we still feel things in the body as if it had only just happened.
Ever since the day you were
conceived, from your birth, throughout your childhood to the present
moment, every single thing, good or bad, that has happened to you has
been faithfully recorded and stored in the energy field for future reference,
just like a tape recording. We constantly refer to it as our personal
model of how we see the world, and this is our sense of identity.
Parents, teachers, people
in authority your friends and acquaintances have all made an impression
on you and have played some part in how you presently see yourself.
This is in effect allowing other people to write all over your mental
walls and then you faithfully read it everyday and reinforce their messages,
totally believing their opinions to be true. Do you trust your government,
do you believe their every word is for your benefit? Do you want your
life to be defined by what a six year old playground bully said or did
to you? No of course not, but this is precisely what is happening to
you. Your beliefs about yourself have really been built on everything
that has happened to you ever since your birth and how you understood
these events at the time. What is frightening to a child, may be funny
to an adult. You can, as an adult rationalise your feelings, but understanding
them and switching them off ( or resetting them to how you saw things
before you became affected) are two different matters all together.
Everything that we have
ever seen, heard, smelt, tasted or felt has had an effect on our energy
system, affecting each of us physically, mentally emotionally and chemically
within our mind and body. This has faithfully been recorded and that's
why we are the way we are today.
This is why so many of us
are held back in life. We find ourselves stuck because we may suffer
with one or more of the following:
Addictive Cravings, Allergies,
Anger, Anxiety, Fears & Phobias, Guilt, Hatred, Insomnia, Jealousy,
Lack of Confidence, Negative Memories, Nightmares, Panic Attacks, Public
Speaking, Obsessions, Sadness, Self-Image, Sexual Abuse, Shyness, Traumatic
Memories - just to name a few!
EFT
resets the energetic emotional disruption to a neutral setting so that
whatever was causing the emotional upset ceases to be able to do so...
even if you tried really hard to get worked up about whatever it was,
it just won’t be able to bother you again... Once you have used
EFT to correct the problem.
Tapping certain
meridian points sends pulses of chi or energy through the meridian channels
which then re balances and clears any blockages. A nice side effect
is that you’ll often see things from a totally different perspective
and wonder how you ever got so upset in the first place.
